Abstract
A network function is implemented using cloud native architecture. The network function utilizes one or more loosely coupled and independently deployable microservice instances to perform services. To retain state between independent transactions, a microservice instance takes a soft lock on state data in an external database. The soft lock makes the state data unavailable except to the microservice instance. After the microservice instance completes the transaction, the microservice instance clears the lock so that the state data is available for use by other microservices.
